“…Finally, a recent assessment (Cureton, Clemens, Henninger, & Couch, ) indicated that counselor educators and supervisors lack knowledge about ways to address suicide in counseling and that they work within a professional climate that only passively supports improved counselor training on suicide. SHORES represents a strengths‐based addition to suicide training that should be attractive to counselor educators and supervisors.…”

Guidelines for addressing and managing client suicide risk include discussing and conceptualizing protective factors. Counselors should be able to recall and discuss suicide protective factors that are applicable across client populations. SHORES, a suicide protective factors mnemonic that is supported by the literature, has applications for risk assessment and crisis intervention across settings, preventative care, strengths‐based management, and counselor training. A case example and discussion serve to illustrate the wide‐ranging application of SHORES in counseling practice.

Counselors serve diverse clients who may experience substance use issues and contributing factors such as generational poverty and isolation. A rural region of a state with legalized marijuana engaged in an assessment of community readiness to address the use of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and other substances. Scoring and thematic analysis of interviews with 30 community members resulted in scores for five readiness dimensions and themes concerning contributors to and detractors from readiness. Recommendations for counselors span prevention, intervention, and advocacy to support individuals, families, and organizations seeking to promote awareness and addiction recovery, particularly in the context of rural poverty.

“…As a result, there have been numerous calls for an increase in the amount and quality of training provided to counseling students related to suicide issues (Binkley & Liebert, 2015;Douglas & Wachter Morris, 2015;Elliott et al, 2018;Rigsbee & Goodrich, 2018;Schmidt, 2016;Shannonhouse et al, 2018). Cureton et al (2018) reported that the field of counselor education is poised to make improvements to the suicide prevention training afforded to students but needs guidance and analysis on the strengths and weaknesses of current practices. Although researchers have begun to examine the efficacy of face-to-face education in preparing counselors to work with suicidal clients (Binkley & Liebert, 2015;Wachter Morris & Barrio Minton, 2012), there has been little focus on the efficacy of online counselor education programs in preparing students to work with suicide issues.…”
